in 1831, the son of Fisher W. and Hannah (Chissom) Hewson. He read law with Franklin & Van Allen, and with
Van Buren & Prosser, and was admitted to the bar. Hs practiced but little, however, having a stronger interest
for other pursuits. His business life has been devoted to lumbering mainly, and fruit growing. About 1889 he started
the evaporator at the "head of the street," and in 1890 established the feeder mill on Sucker Brook.
In 1888 Mr. Hewson married Lue A., daughter of Haverly Brooks, of Auburn. Mr. Hewson's mother was one of the first
